I love flyrodding.

I suck at it, but one of the nicest things about flyrodding is that you can PACK LIGHTLY!

One rod, one reel, maybe a spare spool to swap out lines (floating vs. intermediate), flies, leader, waders/belt/pliers, a vest, and a flashlight, and that's pretty much it!

There is a zen to casting the long wand, I find it very relaxing.

Lately though, given the choice between flycasting and plugging, I would have to put a gun to my head to take the flyrod out.
